Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore

Florence, Italy

Simply known as the "Duomo" among locals, the Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore is easily Florence's most iconic landmark. Taking nearly 150 years to build (1296 to 1436), the cathedral has been built in the style of a basilica and continues to dominance the city skyline to this day.
One of the highlights of the cathedral is its neo-gothic facade, started in 1876 and completed in 1887 by Emilio de Fabris. Today, the stunning pink, green & white marble serves as the perfect backdrop for travellers taking photos as they get ready to explore the inside of the Duomo, especially when you have the sun shining down on the facade like we did during our visit.

Travel and photography enthusiast, bitten by the travel bug at an early age and have been traveling ever since. This is just a collection of some of the photographs I've snapped over my travels. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed taking them.
